Mr. Scahill, Dropsite, Thank you so much for this actual journalism.
It's a stark contrast from the "reporting" on DemocracyNow! this morning, which featured and Iranian expat who hadn't been in the country for 30 years blaming all the trouble on the Iranian government, with no mention whatsoever about the role of the CIA or Mossad, or the late Shah's son.
The reality is more complex, and I appreciate Dropsite's endeavor to help us make sense of all this.
and thank you etal for this interview. A small country yet the powers at be lust to control it's resources not caring about the Iranian citizenry. It boils down to the current struggle of unipolarity vs multipolarity. And to be honest the unipolarity folks are racist white supremists....they can not (must not) win this struggle of the natural order of things". Racism is not a national "order of things".
Rostamkhani’s account cuts through the easy binaries that dominate coverage of Iran. What’s most unsettling here is not just the scale of violence, but how fragmented and opaque it was—deaths that don’t fit a simple “state vs. protesters” narrative, an information blackout that enabled manipulation from multiple sides, and a population caught in between. This kind of on-the-ground testimony is essential precisely because it resists being weaponized for propaganda, whether by the state or by external actors eager to turn unrest into regime-change theater.
